My PARENTS were TIRED by the time I came along. They had run the gauntlet with my seven year old brother, Ivan, the TERRIBLE. They DECIDED to take a break. It was very FORTUITOUS for me they decided to hire a nanny so Mom could go back to work. I had the best of two worlds. The nanny spoiled me all day and when Mom and Dad got home, they spoiled me some more. Of course it was out of guilt for leaving me all day with a nanny. And I took every advantage of it. I was BLATANT with demands for attention.
I had been working to master pulling up to stand in my play pen one evening when Mom and Dad got home. They both stopped in their tracks and stared at me,
"Oh! Look, Harold!" Mom exclaimed. "Our little Susie Woozie has learned to stand!" she added as they both rushed forward.
"HUNKA MUNKA!" I told them. (That's Suzie Woozie language for , 'Did you bring the ice cream?')
They both looked at each other in confusion. "Did that sound like MaMa or DaDa to you?" Dad asked looking at Mom. Mom shook her head.
"UNBELIEVABLE!" I thought. I had said that as plain as can be."Hunka Munka! Hunka Munka! (I want ice cream! I want ice cream!) Now, one can't talk any more plain that that.
"Maybe she's hungry?" Mom suggested.
(Right on, Mom! You're getting there!) "Hunka Munka!" This time I added some knee bends in an immatation of jumping.
Dad bent over and picked me up. "Let's give her a treat for being such a good little girl all day while Mommy and Daddy were gone," he smiled at Mom. "Would Daddy's little girl like some ice cream?"
My Dad is SUPERMAN! My hero for LIFE! "DaDa," I smiled at him.
"Did you hear that, Jo Ellen?!" he exclaimed in surprise.
(Well, parents deserve a treat too once in a while.)

My (1) parents (2) tired of me quickly. That is possibly due to the 10 kids they had before, the last of which was born 19 years before I came along. They were well into enjoying their time alone and then, oooops, there I was.
So during my (3) "terrible twos," they (4) decided to turn me loose to fend for myself. It was (5) fortuitous for them that they had recently moved, or perhaps it was planned that way, since that allowed them to dump me with no one noticing they no longer had a baby. Their (6) blatant selfishness was never noticed.
They left me on the doorstep of the (7) Hunka Munka Island Lounge (see link below) where I was found by the owner and his wife as they opened the lounge for the day. To show you how (8) unbelievable my parents were, in honor of their favorite superherothey had dressed me in my (9) Superman pajamas, the ones with the little cape.
Even at that young age, II took to the place right away Perhaps it was the soothing calypso music or the wonderful scents of the various drinks with little umbrellas in them. Whatever it was, I was never sorry about being abandoned in this place.
I don't know how their (10) life turned out, but mine was wonderful. Growing up on Hunka Munka Island, I became quite a hunk-a-man whom all the women loved, especially when wearing my Superman outfit with the cape.
Someday I may look for my parents so I can thank them for releasing me to such a wonderful life, and let them know I am not bitter about their decision. I may never find them, as I hear they moved to a planet in another galaxy, far, far away from the simple life on Hunka Munka.

Silva, Sarge, Matt, Sunshine and Miss Kitty
Kitty: " Sunshine? Were your parents members of the CIRCUS or something?"
Sunshine laughed:"Circus? Nooooo. Why do you ask, oh, maiden of maliciousness?"
Kitty:" It would explain so many things....That's all."
Silva:"Sunny. Don't you ever get TIRED of her comments? She can be so TERRIBLE when she wants to be."
Sunshine:"I've DECIDED that she isn't going to change, and anyway.......I'm too busy to bother with her bad attitude."
Sarge, who was blowing the spit out of his trumpet valve, looked up:"Too busy? Doing what?"
Sunshine looked into Matt's beautiful blue eyes:"I'm too busy lovin' on my cowboy."
Matt :"Shucks, baby. What a FORTUITOUS day it was, when you came to Dodge."
In a BLATANT voice, Kitty said:" Yeah......What a day THAT was....... HUNKA MUNKA !"
Sarge smiled and played a chorus of "How Dry I Am."
Silva spit out the Wheatgrass she had just sipped......She knew that Kitty was "on the wagon."!!
Matt looked at Kitty with a quizzical expression; Then he turned his attention to Sunshine......."Baby.......You are UNBELIEVEABLE." Kitty watched in disgust as Sunshine jumped on his back , yelling at the top of her lungs...." Hee Haw MattBaby....You are my sexy SUPERMAN."
Silva smiled as Matt carried Sunshine piggy-back to their bedroom.
Silva:"Awwwww.....LIFE can be soooooo sweet."
Sarge blared out the chorus of "Afternoon Delight" as Kitty searched feverishly for a bottle of booze.
